Abstract
A pinch tube type valve adapted to accept an elongated flexible outlet tube protruding from a liquid container for selective control of liquid flow through the tube from the container. The tube is passed through a passageway in the valve body for selective engagement by a stem which is reciprocable into and out of closing engagement therewith. An apertured tube receiving area is disposed in the bottom wall of the valve body adjacent the outlet end of the passageway to receive the tube in a desired position angularly disposed of the passageway to facilitate ease of liquid dispensing operations. A stop or tube retention member is removably received in the passageway at the outlet end thereof to retain the tube in its desired position within the receiving area.
